ORIGINAL: bairdlander The map,counter's and use of corps make ToF a lot like Avalon Hill Third Reich boardgame.WitE has a lot more detail and flexability and it just covers east front. I'm not sure about flexibility in WiTE, your'e on a long one-way trip to Berlin, the variation is in what date the Soviets get there, at least ToW can change the plot. [:)] This game is indeed wildly and fantastically flexible. Anything can happen. Historicity is not its strong suit. It's fun, but it's not WW2. All games have to entertain if they are to succeed and it is an overstatement to say that anything can happen in TOF, but it has to be an advantage in re-play, if each game has the possibility of a different, but reasonably plausible, outcome. Yeh, I know, what's reasonable and what's plausible, but you get the idea. [:)]
